About

Josué D. Mota‐Morales is a leading figure in sustainable materials science, pioneering the use of deep eutectic systems to create the next generation of bio-based, transient electronics. His research centers on green chemistry and iontronics, where he replaces petroleum-based components with natural biopolymers like gelatin, cellulose nanocrystals, and agar. His major contribution is the development of "eutectogels"—stable, ionic conductors that enable flexible, wearable strain sensors with exceptional performance and environmental compatibility. His landmark 2021 work, "Transforming nature into the next generation of bio-based flexible devices," has garnered 106 citations, establishing a new paradigm for eco-friendly soft electronics. More recently, his 2023 study on a transient dual-response iontronic strain sensor (30 citations) and 2025 work on thermally stable all-natural agar eutectogels (7 citations) demonstrate ongoing innovation in creating devices that are both high-performing and degradable. Mota‐Morales’s achievements lie in harmonizing advanced functionality with sustainability, offering a compelling path toward electronics that can safely disappear after use—a critical step for healthcare, robotics, and reducing electronic waste.
